Last week our English Conversation ladies enjoyed a wonderful morning at the Cumberland City Council Women’s Health Expo at Granville Place.

They explored the different health and wellbeing stalls, took part in a fun weights workout and even had a whole-body health scan!

It was fantastic to see the ladies getting involved, learning something new and connecting with services in our local community. ❤️

A big thank you to Cumberland City Council for hosting such a great event! 🌷

🌟This Week in PBL – Be Respectful: Big Feelings, Better Words 🌟

This week at Granville Public School, our PBL focus is Be Respectful – Big Feelings, Better Words.

Students will be learning that big feelings are okay, but hurtful words are not. We will explore common situations that can bring on strong emotions, such as losing a game, not being picked, finding work difficult, waiting for a turn, or feeling annoyed by someone else.

A key part of the lesson is helping students understand the difference between:

A MINOR
A rude or swear word said under their breath, where nobody is the target.

A MAJOR
A swear word, put down or rude comment aimed at, or said about, another person.

Students will practise calming their bodies before speaking by:

👉 stopping and noticing what their body is doing
👉 taking three slow, deep breaths
👉 walking away or getting a drink of water
👉 giving themselves time to calm down
👉 telling a teacher they need a reset.

They will also practise replacing hurtful language with better words such as:

💬 “I am really frustrated right now.”
💬 “I need a minute.”
💬 “Good game.”
💬 “Can you help me? I am stuck.”

If hurtful words are aimed at a student, we are reinforcing a very important message:

Go straight to Fix-It Finger 5 – Get a teacher. Never do it back.

Families can support this learning by asking:

👉 What can you do when you feel angry or frustrated?
👉 What are some better words you can use instead of hurtful words?
👉 What should you do if someone aims hurtful words at you?

❤️💛 Big feelings are okay. Better words are our choice.

This week at Granville Public School, our PBL focus is Be Safe – Hands and Feet to Ourselves.

Students will be revisiting what keeping our hands and feet to ourselves looks like in both the classroom and playground. This includes no hitting, kicking, pushing, rough play, play fighting or using objects to hurt someone.

A key message this week is:

STOP → MOVE AWAY → GET HELP

Students will learn that if they feel angry, frustrated, annoyed, bumped during play or involved in a disagreement, they should not do the wrong thing back. Instead, they can calm their body, walk away, use their Fix-It Fingers and seek help from a teacher when needed.

We will also reinforce that hurting others is never okay, even if someone else did the wrong thing first, even if we are angry, or even if we think it is a joke.

Families can support this learning by asking:

👉 What does keeping your hands and feet to yourself look like?
👉 What can you do when you start to feel angry or frustrated?
👉 What does STOP → MOVE AWAY → GET HELP mean?
👉 What should you do if someone else does the wrong thing first?

Together, we can help all students make safe choices and keep Granville a safe, respectful and positive place to learn. ❤️💛
